Beloved theatre veteran Marin Mazzie died at age 57 on September 13 after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer.

She made her Broadway debut in Big River, playing Mary Jane Wilkes, but came to stardom (and earned her first Tony nomination) as Clara in Stephen Sondheim’s 1994 musical Passion. She received subsequent nominations in 1998, when she originated the role of "Mother" in the Ahrens and Flaherty musical Ragtime (co-starring with Audra McDonald, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Peter Friedman), and again for the 1999 revival of Kiss Me, Kate, paired once more with Mitchell.

Grateful to @leslieodomjr for snapping these pics & sending them to me last nightI made it a point never to miss Marin in anything (her Next to Normal performance with Daniel, my god), it meant the world when they came to see us.❤️❤️❤️What a light, how lucky we were pic.twitter.com/4uVEP3tUsC

Beautiful, brave and inspiring. A glorious voice and an even better human being. Have any doubts? Just look at the love she inspires in her husband, Jason Danieley. A loss for us all. Marin Mazzie, Star of Ragtime and Passion, Dies at 57 https://t.co/hM2PlZkEIA

I used put on my cd of Passion or Ragtime to sing along with her. I wanted to sound just like her. That blend of warmth and strength and soul. She was a light to all and we are so lucky to have known her for the time that we did. Love to you Marin. A beautiful inspiration. ������ pic.twitter.com/8CrLIcbpkP

💔Never met a more courageous inspiring unselfish soul than @MarinMazzie Her smile could light up an entire theater, her laughter was liquid gold, and that voice that channeled the gods. For everything you gave us Marin, thank you. I miss you already and forever.

This is such a devastating loss. Marin was one of a kind. A deeply kind and companionate person. A magnificent and generous performer. She will be missed by everyone who knew her and those who had the privilege of watching her on stage. Jason my heart is with you. 🌻🌻💔 https://t.co/3GCaHXjEmD

To watch @MarinMazzie work was like watching a masterclass on how to be a leading lady. She was kind, hard-working, dignified, and respectful of others always. A real pro. She taught me so much! I loved & admired her. 1/2

Love. Nothing but love, respect, and admiration for our friend Marin. One of the best. She will always be awesome. And love to her awesome partner in crime @JasonDanieley and their family �� https://t.co/B46uVSKcCW

Gutted to hear this news. Marin was loved by everyone in our community. She was so so special. So grateful to have known her. Constantly amazed by her talent, strength, and grace. https://t.co/UNu7JXRb2J

This is absolutely devastating. What a bright, shining light she was, and will continue to be, to our community. She inspired so many of us. My heart is with Jason and her family. https://t.co/iwffogXiND

Elegant, beautiful, and breathtakingly courageous. Thank you for shining your light on us all, #MarinMazzie ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ You were taken from us too soon. Sending love and prayers to Jason and their loved ones. https://t.co/sHwiYmq80A

She was a Light, a supremely open & generous being, a hilarity, a singular talent, a beloved friend, a life force, a wise one, among many things, & here she is in TROJAN WOMEN which I directed in 1996 when she and Jason met & began a love story for the ages. RIP Marin Mazzie. �� pic.twitter.com/wfC2tEbkAd

The great #MarinMazzie has passed away. The love she and her husband @JasonDanieley had for each other was so inspirational. I will also never forget how OBSESSED I was, sitting in the RAGTIME pit, hearing her brilliant performance. "The house on the hill was MOTHERS' domain..."

This news leaves an ache the size of the brightest burning light that this gracious lady brought to everyone she met. I cherish my time with you, Marin. Thank you for your gifts and example. We lift up every strain of #SigPassion to the music, soul&light that is you, Marin. RIP pic.twitter.com/6201zGiWat

Today I lost a friend and the world lost one of the greats. On top of feeling so lucky to have experienced her extraordinary gifts as her coworker, I had the honor of witnessing the infinite depth of her strength, smarts, humor and humanity offstage. She will be greatly missed. https://t.co/bd8NAfGsGe

When I was 14 and in the closet, I blasted the "Passion" album so many times for so many months, my parents had to have known. Marin Mazzie's voice sounded like strength and beauty, and better times to come. Will never, ever forget her. https://t.co/XxrA9Ixkzn
